Lets do some bullet points. 27 mil dead cap hit He was a free agent two months ago and anybody could have signed him You think we might get first round compensation for a guy that was just a free agent Can't make this sh*t up It's an $8 million cap hit.if traded. It's obviously not happening because the team getting Bell would be concerned about a holdout, but they could have Bell for 2 years at around $20 million. A miniscule amount compared to his cost in FA. A loaded team might consider it.. Not going to happen but it is not completely outlandish.

I know it's friday but you need to slow down on the booze. The Jets out bid every team? EVERY TEAM? Really? Wow must have been like an auction or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's staying in Philly. First I'll preface this reply by saying the Jets fan in me is hopeful Adam Gase is going to work out and be a terrific coach for the Jets. Secondly, I would love for the next GM, whether it's Joe Douglas, or someone else, to not only be a great talent evaluator, but someone who also posesses excellent interpersonal skills. The next GM has to work cohesively with the coaching staff and his scouts in order to find the right kind of players for the style of play and culture the Jets are trying to build. With that all said, if the Jets suck under Gase, it would almost be poetic justice if the GM, who Adam Gase plays a significant role in getting hired, ends up the one who fires Adam Gase.

Aussie Jet Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 John Clayton is desperate for relevance. Set up a website along the lines of the Athletic and had to close it within months because nobody coughed up any subscription fees to read his dribble. It is pathetic and I have called out a few people who should be better than broadcasting his rubbish on Twitter about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the site but I wish Jason would dig deeper into this. He just signed for $27 mil guaranteed and another site shows $25 mil deadcap if we trade him. For reference the Steelers took a $21 mil dead hit on AB and he wasn't signed a few months before he was traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bla bla bla Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 You know what would make Gase happier than paying Bell a ton of money to play for us?

John Clayton: 'I Could Absolutely See' Jets Trading Le'Veon Bell Before Season JOSEPH ZUCKERMAY 17, 2019 Don Wright/Associated Press If New York Jets head coach and acting general manager Adam Gase had his way, Le'Veon Bell might never play a down for the team. NFL insider John Clayton speculated the Jets would be open to dealing Bell this offseason. "If there's a suitor, I could absolutely see the Jets trading him before the start of the season," he said on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. It was pointless stupid article the first time you posted it.
